(Deje Selam; Oct.8/2009)
A new report released by The Pew Forum disclosed among the Ethiopian population, 28 million practice Islam, while the world wide statistics hits 1.57 billion.
In another study, according to the 2007 Ethiopian census, 33.9% of the total population (i.e 25 Million) are Muslims.

Currently, not only main stream Islam is spreading in Ethiopia, but according to different studies, Radical Islam (Click Here) is rising in this East African nation. The main Christian Church in the nation, the Orthodox Tewahedo Church, is in internal turmoil and government domination, while protestantism and Islam are freely proselytizing the Orthodox Christians.

The current patriarch of the Church, HH Abune Paulos, is much criticized for disgracing the Church in this religious competion going on in the country.

By ERIC GORSKI
The global Muslim population stands at 1.57 billion, meaning that nearly 1 in 4 people in the world practice Islam, according to a report Wednesday billed as the most comprehensive of its kind.

The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life report provides a precise number for a population whose size has long has been subject to guesswork, with estimates ranging anywhere from 1 billion to 1.8 billion.

The project, three years in the making, also presents a portrait of the Muslim world that might surprise some. For instance, Germany has more Muslims than Lebanon, China has more Muslims than Syria, Russia has more Muslims than Jordan and Libya combined, and Ethiopia has nearly as many Muslims as Afghanistan.

"This whole idea that Muslims are Arabs and Arabs are Muslims is really just obliterated by this report," said Amaney Jamal, an assistant professor of politics at Princeton University who reviewed an advance copy.

Pew officials call the report the most thorough on the size and distribution of adherents of the world's second largest religion behind Christianity, which has an estimated 2.1 billion to 2.2 billion followers.

The arduous task of determining the Muslim populations in 232 countries and territories involved analyzing census reports, demographic studies and general population surveys, the report says. In cases where the data was a few years old, researchers projected 2009 numbers.

The report also sought to pinpoint the world's Sunni-Shiite breakdown, but difficulties arose because so few countries track sectarian affiliation, said Brian Grim, the project's senior researcher.

As a result, the Shiite numbers are not as precise; the report estimates that Shiites represent between 10 and 13 percent of the Muslim population, in line with or slightly lower than other studies. As much as 80 percent of the world's Shiite population lives in four countries: Iran, Pakistan, India and Iraq.

The report provides further evidence that while the heart of Islam might beat in the Middle East, its greatest numbers lie in Asia: More than 60 percent of the world's Muslims live in Asia.

About 20 percent live in the Middle East and North Africa, 15 percent live in Sub-Saharan Africa, 2.4 percent are in Europe and 0.3 percent are in the Americas. While the Middle East and North Africa have fewer Muslims overall than Asia, the region easily claims the most Muslim-majority countries.

While those population trends are well established, the large numbers of Muslims who live as minorities in countries aren't as scrutinized. The report identified about 317 million Muslims - or one-fifth of the world's Muslim population - living in countries where Islam is not the majority religion.

In several of these countries - from India to Nigeria and China to France - divisions featuring a volatile mix of religion, class and politics have contributed to tension and bloodshed among groups.

The immense size of majority-Hindu India is underscored by the fact that it boasts the third-largest Muslim population of any nation - yet Muslims account for just 13 percent of India's population.

"Most people think of the Muslim world being Muslims living mostly in Muslim-majority countries," Grim said. "But with India ... that sort of turns that on its head a bit."

Among the report's other highlights:

- Two-thirds of all Muslims live in 10 countries. Six are in Asia (Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Iran and Turkey), three are in North Africa (Egypt, Algeria and Morocco) and one is in sub-Saharan Africa (Nigeria).

- Indonesia, which has a tradition of a more tolerant Islam, has the world's largest Muslim population (203 million, or 13 percent of the world's total). Religious extremists have been involved in several high-profile bombings there in recent years.

- In China, the highest concentrations of Muslims were in western provinces. The country experienced its worst outbreak of ethnic violence in decades when rioting broke out this summer between minority Muslim Uighurs and majority Han Chinese.

- Europe is home to about 38 million Muslims, or about five percent of its population. Germany appears to have more than 4 million Muslims - almost as many as North and South America combined. In France, where tensions have run high over an influx of Muslim immigrant laborers, the overall numbers were lower but a larger percentage of the population is Muslim.

- Of roughly 4.6 million Muslims in the Americas, more than half live in the United States although they only make up 0.8 percent of the population there. About 700,000 people in Canada are Muslim, or about 2 percent of the total population.

A future Pew Forum project, scheduled to be released in 2010, will build on the report's data to estimate growth rates among Muslim populations and project future trends.

Response to Tesfa Tesfa, i can see from all ur messages that your only aim is to advertize ur books and search market for it. But we are talking about something else. yihenin besidib yeseletene andebetihinina, yemetshaf shiyach birr yemiyasib hilinahin yizeh lemin yegil gazetoch gar atihedim. The muslim extremists on onehand, the protestants on the other hand are streaching our church. Double agents like you whose day and night dream is to advertize their book and who in the mean time aspire to be rich are the third enemy of our church. By the time we are discussing about our potential threats , you still are time and again pushing us to buy your demonic books. because ur aim is not faith, but money, collecting money ...

You are following the same step like ur predeccesors. Danile alemayehu( who spilittied Nazreth Sunday school) was just like you. Tilahum Mekonen( Of Bahid Dar) was just like you. They were telling us they were from the church , while actually they werenot.They started writing books condemning our brothers and fathers. eventually they revealed for whom they were working. You are following the same footstep. It is a matter of time. The hidden wolf inside u will reveal its true nature. Dont feel that u are not known. everyone knows u very well. But i advise u to go to the protestant blog, ur finacers, and talk what u are talking so far. or go to ur brothers blog. tell them that u are also following their foot step and disturbing our church. But you have to know that u are no more than a minute fly. hereunder i have sent you your mastermind and friend blog. go there and vomit words as usual. after all that seems ur profession : vomiting words and fighting Tewahido church under cover.

by the way i have read on one blog that the soft copy ( Pdf file) of ur books is online,and it is being circulating like Dr Birhanu Book, if i am not mistaken. hahaha .Go and preach gospel to the world nebere yetebalkew, but ante gin go and backbite Mahibere Kidusan yemil tizaz kegetah yetebelek timeslaleh. lenegereu getah ...aydel.lesidib yetadele sefi afi yeseteh .yewendimochachin kesash

This is for Tesfa. When I was very little, I was very concerned about the anti-EOTC movements undergoing by you and your friends, especially, when I read excerpts written by you and your peer groups. My worry was not for me, it was for those EOTC members who do not know the reality from the drama. Now, Praise to God, my frustration is gone for good when I came to understand my people and God’s will. The generation at this time is not like what you are assumed. They better know the truth from the make ups; they know who is working for the church and who is robbery; they know who radical Muslim or tehadiso mekafik. So, your effort is worthless. When you get some people who appreciate your bonus money, you may perceive yourself as successful. But, that is not something you would bring it. It is something that should be happened at the end of the day.

Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Let us stop saying Tehadiso or Seyitan, Oritawi. If there is problem in our belief let us have meeting from both side and discuss. Otherwise I don't know for whom you guys are working. If we are all for one church,one God and one Lord, why are we doing this. Please brothers think wisely as Jesus said. Christian is one who teaches hope,love,faith and respect. But I am looking antagonisms. Who are we serving?

Are we serving God or Satan. Because Jesus told us by saying "Yemitileyay Mengist Lititsena Atichilim". So for the sake of your sole, please think differently. I don't have words to beg you guys.

Dear Brothers and Sisters based our discussion last time. We have prepared the letter to be sent to Synode. It will be posted in websites tomorrow. So please participate in the petition and tell also to others. If there is any corrections please send to me at christtewahedo@gmail.com or wongel2001@google.com

Orthodox unit:I have been following your comments for some time. I see you being one of the most unbiased and true orthodox christian.Keep it up eventhough you might be discouraged by some hatemonger individuals both from the right and left wing.God bless you

Gabriel!In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Sprit, One God Amen!Our Church has passed through difficult times during Gudit , Geran , Suyusenus and Italian Invasion. At present the Apostolic church is being challenged by pentecostals form outside and fifth columnist tehadiso from inside and it believers in some area are harassed by muslim fundamentalist, while we are living in peace with most of our muslim brothers. Power and money mongers in betekinhet are also becoming obstacle for the spread of the Gospel. The apostolic church will overcome all obstacles and continue to exist as it is established by the Blood of our Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ. Although we do not impose our believe on others, we shall pray to God to bring them to the light. We believer of EOTC live in peace with other people of different faith . We have to extend love to every human being, although our friendliness is being sometimes exploited by our protestant and Muslim brothers and sister. The Muslims use marriage and donation to convert christians. The pentecostals use friendship and distribution of foreign aid to distract christians from the path of salvation. When one person walks in Addis Ababa stree, he will meet full gospel pentecostals, next the onenes Pentecostals {only Jesus), after then Jehovah witness and when come in the church tehadiso. All sorts of faith group including Mormons and bahu’allaha are know in Ethiopia. Hence, it is necessary that every memeber of the Apostolic Church should know his/her creed in detail in comparison with others so that they can not be distracted by false teaching. This will require all of us have to come to our senses and compromise .

What should our Father’s who have chosen the path of menkusena will gain by intimidating their colleagues or prevent their children from spreading the Gospel. What should bloggers of Deje selam or the like gain by showing disrespect to some Fathersl even if they might be irrational. In both cases, God will not be happy! The problem in side the church can be solved only by patience, forgiveness and prayer. The weapons of spiritual warfare unlike political struggle are payer, forgiveness, patience and politeness, even if one side is not willing to make peace and serve the flock. At the end God will intervene. The Younger generation has to learn much about determination, wisdom and politeness of Daniel, Anania, Azarai and Mishael during exodus in Babylon.

No repentance no redemption. For the past 17yrs we were cursing and condemning each other for the very silly issues,like pork meat,kirar begena masinko,organ,amalaginet....Now comes the real issue where each of us being challeged bu muslim extremist. Let's come to our senses and repent for our past sins against each othe and most importatly against God. That is when we can real see the mercy and grace of God both for ourselves,Ethiopia and EOC. May GOD THE ALMIGHTY GIVE US THE COURAGE AND THE WISDOM TO REPENT AND COME OT OUR MIND

Response for Tad , I was shocked when i read the message u posted before a while. hereunder it is ..

For the past 17yrs we were cursing and condemning each other for the very silly issues,like pork meat,kirar begena masinko,organ,amalaginet....Now comes the real issue where each of us being challeged bu muslim extremist.

Tad , amalajinetin very silly issue alkew.Ahunim bekidusan amalginet kalamenk haymanotih mulu aydelem. Ahunim menafikanu endemilut kirstos amalaj new bileh kasebik, menafik neh. Yihe negere haymanot new. Mistire Sigawie. Yebizu nufake menesha yihen tenkiko alemawek new. so it is not silly Tad. There is also boundary between spiritual song and secular music. introducing secular music and its secular instrument like Organ is never accepted by our apostlic church. this also is not silly.I agree by the point u raised which says that muslim fundamnetalist is a threat. But also the other points which u called them silly are not silly. hulum sirat alew.You can personally follow any way which you like. But if u are follower of Orthodox Christian, this is the tradition of our church. we are supposed to follow what our fathers put . we are not supposed to introduce new regulation and teachings.Haymanot endeabatochachin, tibeb ende giziachin.MetsehafusYabatochin dinber atafirs aydel yemilew

Gobez/. There is no Tehadeso, Tebetiso, Tekentso. This all name was giving for Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Christians, by MK. who ever challenge them.

We don't need any body except church fathers. We don't need MK. If some one want to serve the church ,we have "Ye- Senbet Temehirt Bet Maderaja Memriya, that is enough. Otherwise if we say MK, Tehadeso, Menafek. and so .on... we will never be one church. If we are EOTC, we should say, we are Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo christian, period.

One thing we know there is Protestant, Catholic, Islam, so. and so.. But there is no MK Gele mele in one EOTC. If you say, I am this and this, we are like, Protestant. For example they have Only jesus, Baptist, pentecostal, and so on... under that name. But We are not like that. We believe in one church.

Wogenoch: MK fulling people and create the system to dividing, One EOTC Christian to another, for their hiden aim, and cover by Netela. Please don't be confuse by them. Be like you use to be.

I like some Anonymous said,that sound is good. Please MK. no more fulling now every EOTC christian is aware your tricks, which is by saying Tehadeso, menafek, and so on.. for the true Church Lijoch, so no body listen to you any more the time is over. May be now you are changing your tricks attacking our Muslim brothers to be fight with christians, and you will get attention. Nonsense. But it doesn't help you that either.

Any way, Ebakachehu Abatochen Atsadebu:: Instead of insulting, give the answer for the EOTC questions to you.

That who give good comments, God Bless you all. But that who give insulting comments, God for give them all.

The 5th Anonymous: I don't want to follow me. Why do you follow people? I am nothing but God works even on stone. If you agree on the idea follow it otherwise ignore it. This is what I believe to do by myself. I don't have any other thing to do for my church except appealing to Holy Synod.

After all, the idea is not proposed by me. Even we can leave it, if it is not important. God Bless Orthodoxy, Let God Bring Unity Among Christians!!

Dear Orthodox unit it is not necessary to appealing to the Holy Synod. Because Abatoch let them do their job. They know each other. we don't have to bother them like MK.

No matter what things had happen in God will, so we just pray and stay calm. Please let them do their job, we don't know nothing.When we do that Egziabher rasu serawn yeseral,trust in God. I am not MS but EOTC.

Dear Anonymous, it is not to defend but to make clear my reason for writing.

It is not to have side with some one and blame others or for any other fleshly work. But it is seeking for growth and unity of the church. And this can only be done if we can have proper Synod. I don't have any relation with bishops or any administration body in the church. I am just a christian.

respons to hymanot,as you said :( There is no Tehadeso, Tebetiso, Tekentso. This all name was giving for Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Christians, by MK. who ever challenge them.)But tesfa is telling you he is tehadeso. Do you loose your mind? tons of lies doesn't weigh a piece of truth. Why don't you say what ever u want like tesfa reveling ur self. we already know u. you are not belong to the church just pretend..and demonize Mk because they reveled your hiden tehadiso movement. pls don't kill our time talking "Tilacha" And don't pretend like u care about Eotc u never did. u just dream a widely open Eotc without MK and other devoted church fathers and children so that u will be able to still more "mimenan" as you did in Nathret and some other sunday schools.That is way u say "we just need our fathers and S/S maderaja" b/c you think these group do not stop u from your "tekulawi sira" u wish!So just uncover your real self and then we will talk straight!

“Gobez/. There is no Tehadeso, Tebetiso, Tekentso. This all name was giving for Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Christians, by MK. who ever challenge them.

Please MK. no more fulling now every EOTC christian is aware your tricks, which is by saying Tehadeso, menafek, and so on..” Tad

“እንዲያውም የማህበረ ቅዱሳን አሳዳጅነት ተሃድሶውን እንዲጠነክር ስለዳረገው በሌላ በኩል ጠቅመውናል” tesfa

It seems that they are denying the truth. Tehadiso is the secret wing of protestant in Orthodox Church. If you want to know the founders of Tehadiso follow this link and listen from his own mouth. I hope Tesfa is one of their hidden soldiers. U thought that we don’t know u. but u fooled urself no one else.

http://www.esnips.com/doc/06fa7f10-77db-4ed2-a893-b6da2d0cf12f

Besides, u can read a lot about the Tehadiso church from these web pages. I have tried to post what is written in short.

“Today, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, part of Oriental Orthodoxy, is by far the largest denomination, though a number of Protestant (Pentay) churches and the Ethiopian Orthodox Tehadeso Church have recently gained ground..”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopia

"Pentay" is a term for Christians not belonging to Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo, Ethiopian Orthodox Tehadeso, Roman Catholic or Ethiopian Catholic churcheshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestantism_in_Ethiopia

According to the government's 1994 census (which the CIA World Factbook follows), 61.6% of the Ethiopian population was Christian: 50.6% of the total were Ethiopian Orthodox, 10.1% were various Protestant denominations (such as the Ethiopian Orthodox Tehadeso Church, and the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus), and Ethiopian Catholics constituted 0.9% of the population).[2]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Ethiopia

Wedaje Ze Dima girgisI heared the link u posted about Tehadiso. Especialy the man behind Tehadiso or ortho pente . Tesfa, one of his agent ,is trying to cheat us by saying there is no Tehadiso and Tehadiso is a name given by Mk to them .Tesfa, i am sure u will forever stop blaming Mk since now, because you heared, from the so Called Pastor Daniel , who is the founder of Tehadiso.and u read all those article from the internet . What i want to remind is you again is one thing. Daniel, the father of Ortho pente or tehadiso ,He was just like u. I know him when he was disturbing in Nazreth Sunday school . He first started saying that Mahibere Kidusan is is an organization of Ferisawi. Then he started accusing Mk. Finnaly he said that Tewahido is not true religion and went to his masters with all the flocks he cheated. You are following the same foot step like him. Yeminfikina zar sijemir mejemeria yemiyaguaraw mahibere kidusan lay new. Mahiberekidusan yitfa eyale yichohal. Behuala protestant honk yilal. Leza medanitu degmo takewaleh, it is a matter of time

Thank u Dima dima thank u. i read all the web link u posted. especially the interview with the so called Pastor Daniel and the resposne he gave were amazing.His younger brothers like tesfa were arguing that there is no Tehadiso, but it is Mahibere Kidusan who says that there is. But actually , The Pastor CONFESSED THAT THERE IS A MOVEMENT CALLED TEHADISO WHOSE AIM IS TO STEAL SHEEPS FROM ORTHODOX CHURCH. AND EVENTUALLY TO DISMANTLE ORTHODX CHURCHhttp://www.esnips.com/doc/06fa7f10-77db-4ed2-a893-b6da2d0cf12f

Tesfa is not Menafek as you say or other. What are you talking about?Don't you understand? He is the true EOTC christian. Haw-ever ye-MK(Ms) deregit you can say what ever you want say. From the beginning our church was doing metades for the true wongel, but after you come to the church business, you start nufake and Ferisawinet. In the mine time your boss diablos was teling you to accuse the true wongelawian Orthodox, becaouse you were not so strong by the true faith.

How many our church members get false accusation by you? For that time you think you were protecting your derejet, but you were fighting our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now it has time for every thing, the true wongle and the true christians fighting your boss diablos and his chefroch.

God, he can change every thing. for you he gave time to confess, but you didn't use that time, so I think Jesus said to you people this:- Ye-amlikot melek alachew; hailun gene kedewal"

I am not Tadiso, but i also share the idea of correcting some of our books. The church in its journey may face some problems where some books may not contain realities. So we shall improve them. No sin here.

The problem I saw in Tehadisos is instead of contacting synod and asking in wise way, they tell to people who are not concerned about it. And take the folk out.

For me, I take all these problems as problem of Synod. Because the synod is the responsible body in correcting any thing in the church. But the synod never consider such things in my age.

But the major thing is identifying things to be correct if there are any.

For EOTC, the day is like the 2-3 centuries where Christians were prosecured for being Christians. We are being hated,killed and insulted by muslims, protestants and some non-believer government bodies. Even it is worth because there is fight here and there. But we know the fight is not with flesh and body. The fight is with devil who is the source of false things.

Dear brothers and sisters read what Girma Kassa wrote on Ethiopia zare page.I love it. I think this is what we all EOC memebers should stand for.That is what Bishops,priests,sunday schools,Mk ...stand for."If you see a lion killng a littlel rabbit and you say I am independent,You are defenetly taking side with the lion"(Desmon Tutu).Fitihu Leneday Weleegualemawta

Ze Debre Libanos Dear Tad, thanks for the invitation.I read the web page u advised us to read. Ant with all due respect i have to tall u that it is business as usual: insulting, scolding our fathers. i have picked one paragraph from that article. it says like this

(የኦርቶዶስ ቤተክርስቲያን መንፈሣዊ አባቶችን ብንመለከት እራሳቸው የወንጌል አቡጊዳ እንደገና መማር ያለባቸው ናቸው እላለሁ። መስቀል ይዘው፣ ጥምጥም ጠምጥመው፣ ካባ ደርበው ይዞራሉ። በየቦታው የከበሬታ ቦታ ይፈልጋሉ። ነገር ግን የፍትህ የፍቅር የይቅርታ ጌታ የሆነውን መድኃኒታችን ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስን ሳይሆን እራሳቸውንና ጥቅማጥቅምችን የሚሰጣቸውን ምድራዊ ባለሥልጣናትን ያገለግላሉ። )Are orthodox fathers like this? Do the writer know places like Debre Libanos , Debre Damo, Debre Ziquala, Debre eyesus, Hayk Estfanos and etc where we an find the true orthodox fathers. are they like this. Is mass insult like this good? i know there are cowards and traitors who are doing bad things. But singling out those and teaching them is one thing, scolding and insulting Orthodox fathers is another thing. It is crime and sinYou have to know that once upon a time a writer may quoate Gima Kassa article to support the idea which says that Orthodox fathers are worthless.

I shall pray hard so that the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongues of spoiled people; they have made their heart the throne of Diablo’s. How do we know these kentu people? I’m not telling you who they are. I leave the judgment to the readers of this blog.

Their idle word, according to Jesus Christ, reveals them who they are. Please pay attention to the below versus about stupid, and idle people. They thought they learned from Geta, yet they don’t even know Who He is. If they know Him (Geta) they will be careful before they speak what Satan orders them to do. In my opinion they are only pipes. They just let it go without little thinking. That is because they don’t posses their minds. It has already owned by devil; Poor people. They nothing rather than living machines who (it) speak without thinking or judgment because they are working only by Satan remote control. How do we know? Very easy.

Symptoms:

1.O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speaks good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

2. Good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

Result:

1.But I say to you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the Day of Judgment.

The attack on Mahibere kidusan is being intensified. From inside traitors like mulugeta and Tesfa are trying all their best to down Mahibere Kidusan. Their masters, Protestants, are currently intensifying their attack on Mahibere Kidusan.

Recently on Debre Tabor, the wing of these anti orthodoxes started insulting our church as usual. Priests and Mahibere kidusan, as usual, make them to stop insulting and opened charge. The two “missionaries” were arrested and sent to prison.

ICC, the watch dog of this movement, is crying so loud accusing Mahibere kidusan. They have understood that unless they eradicate MK it is hard to penetrate Ethiopian Orthodox church. I have posted, hereunder, the “news” they published

“Christian sources said a group within the EOC called “Mahibere Kidusan” (“Fellowship of Saints”) had incited members to attack the two evangelists as they were proclaiming Christ on the roadside. http://www.compassdirect.org/english/country/ethiopia/9862/

The mastermind of Tehadiso movement clearly expressed his fear that “So long as Mahibere kidusan is there, Tehadiso (the reformist) objective will never succeed. And in the mean time, on their news paper they have clearly expressed that the increasingly powerful group Mahibere Kidusan is really becoming obstacle for them and, is indeed shielding Tewahido Church from any denomination ( tehadiso and others) and outside threats . I invite all to read this link

“The increasingly powerful group’s purpose is to counter all reform movements within the EOC and shield the denomination from outside threats “http://www.compassdirect.org/english/country/ethiopia/9862/

THE INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CONCERN and MAHIBERE KIDUSAN

The architectures of Tehadiso further said that Mahibere Kidusan in conspiring with government bodies to down Tehadiso and anti orthodox movement. Please read the news hereunder

“There is an open conspiracy between judges, police and prison officers,” the church leader said. “Police speeded up the investigation and brought it to the district prosecutor’s attention within a day. Witnesses were organized to falsely testify at court. The judges passed the sentence refusing the right to defense.”In some cases, the sources said, EOC priests have urged attacks against Christians, and government authorities influenced by Mahibere Kidusan have infringed on Christians’ rights. It was unknown if the judge and police officers in Alemayehu and Amanuel’s case were under the influence of Mahibere Kidusan, but the local church leader said there were signs of bias in the case.

Zedebre Libanos:Brother, those real fathers are not entertaining themselves with the rich and well to do authorities.Jesus Christ criticised the pharisees and the high priests,but he didn't mean that all priests were bad. He spoke of the reprentatives,HANNA AND QEYAPHA.We have plenty of Hannas and Qeyaphas in EOC.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ!!From Now on Mahibere Kidusan Includes all real Tewahedo Christians who stand for the Truth while Mahibere Seytan (TS) stands for Tehadiso Exteremests and Protestants who are trying to demolish our church. This is the real name in Ethiopia

Gabriel Tehadiso is a transition not an end by itself. It is a the process of leaving Orthodoxy and joining Hetrodoxy ( pentes and other protestan denominations). During the transition, some of them go in the day in EOTC but in the night in a pente cell or assembly. The pentes call them orthopente, as they belive like them but there service is in EOTC. Some times they are called also afkro Geez protestants. They fraternize with pentes. They received financial aid from organization such as SIM. Some of the tahdisos in Nazreth left EOTC and formed Amanuel Church with Mennonites money in Ethiopia . The three tehadiso monks openly lead Muluwongel mass at exhibition center. Some tehadisos left Ethiopia. Others might be still in the Church. They do not believe in the intercession of " Dengel Mariam, the Angles and Kidusan . Even we differ with Eastern Orthodox and Catholics on Christology, Catholics and Eastern Orthodox still believe in intercession. The paradox of tehadisos, they say they have grown in the church . Then how can not they recognize the acts of intercession? In EOTC, there is a gidel of St. Merkorios, a Christian martyr who was a roman soldier. When our church celebrates the day of his martyrdom, his horse on the paint in the church in Aarmania ( north of Debre Brihan) makes similar movement with the priests during the mahlet! Rain can not penetrate roofless church of abune Arone in wollo! The tsibel in tsadkanie, shenkora etc. have cured several people including ex-muslims for HIV Aids. The miracles of the saint is not only a past phenomena!. It is also happening every day.While our tehadiso brothers on the wrong track are showing disrespect to saints like St. Tekela Haymanot , the coptic orthodox church make a movie from the gedle teklehaymanot and named churches after him!What should stand of EOTC on Tehadiso!?• Those who have regretted their past deeds and whose current track records shows they are detached from organized tehadiso should be rehabilited.• Those who still pretend to be Orthodoxawi, but propagate hate on true orthodoxawian individuals and mahibren have to be watched and shall be given advise and last chance by special committee formed by the Holy Synod physically or with a letter.• The Holy Synod shall continue to ex-communicate tehadios who are not willing to repent.• Individuals or mahibren who raise controversial issues of doctrine or serat that confuse laypersons and divide the church should be given advise by the special committee of the Holy Synod.Let peace prevail in EOTCGod bless Ethiopia!Amen!

Aned kene ywnegalu mister sigebachehu beneseha temelesalachehu. For now go to your derigit and asusual be E-wongle and E-Christian, and then you will get your prise. Any way you don't understand any thing your brain is block with haterate. But our God is love, Love is doing any thing. We the true Tewahedo we don't hate you, because you are a creacher of god. But we hate what you are doing in the name of our church.

To haymanot...thank you for revealing your self. That is just what I tald you to .I didn't say any diabolic insult.But even the bible callmenafican by names like "Tekula,""Hasetegna wondimoch" etc.Change your name if u could; you don't deserve to be named "haymanot".Mastewal yistish
